How can we recognise human gestures, especially hand gestures? The answer would be by collecting pictures or videos of hands, and then process said data to recognise gestures, as this is the most conventional approach. However, the work developed by INESC TEC researchers in this area is far from traditional; in this case, the innovative character of the solution developed lies in the use of radio frequency (RF) data instead of images or videos. The work won the first ANACOM-URSI Portugal – International Union of Radio Science award, standing out as the best research in the field of radio electricity.

It's hard to think of current technologies or innovations that do not resort to Language Models (LM) or Natural Language Processing (NLP). Their presence in various society domains - some with significant relevance, like the legal or healthcare sectors - raise issues (and concerns) that often end up focusing on the same question: are LM-based technologies reaching all communities? Recently, two scientific papers featuring INESC TEC - both accepted at AAAI, an A* conference - sought to address some of the challenges in this new era, which directly influence the Portuguese language.
